| Exemplar Audio - What's Needed In High End Audio I upgraded the fuse in the Exemplar DAC to an Audio Magic Beeswax. Unbelievable. The DAC is in another stratosphere now. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Charles, I agree with you wholeheartedly.These are the things we learn from being in this hobby for a long time. And sometimes it still surprises us when something comes out of the blue that gives us a huge return on a relatively small investment.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Oregonpapa, I have a Stillpoints ESS rack and it allows my components to perform at a level I never imagined. So I'm a big believer in reducing micro vibrations. The rack would be the last thing I sell if I ever got out of this hobby. | |

| Exemplar Audio - What's Needed In High End Audio I have John Tucker's eXception DAC. It is indeed lovely. One of the most musical and enjoyable DACs I've owned. So engaging and listenable that you just want to kick back and let the music flow. | |

| Esoteric or CEC cd-transport Mechans, it seems TEAC has already missed the boat with audiophiles moving to servers. They should have put VRDS Neo into more affordable players a long time ago. | |
| Audio Selection Bitstream vs Auric Illuminator I didn't know about the audio desk sound improver for beveling the CD. Will have to try that one day.I'm in the process of treating of all of my CDs with EOM and then ripping them. Is dbpoweramp the best sounding ripper? I've been using XLD on the... | |
| Audio Selection Bitstream vs Auric Illuminator I rip my CDs after treating them with essence of music. How's it possible that the treated rips sound way better than non-treated rips?I'm not sure, but when I try to listen to the non-treated rips I can't bear to listen to them anymore. | |
| Try Stillpoints footers under Power Conditioner? Stillpoints makes a big difference under the power conditioner.I had my power conditioner on the floor for years and was kicking myself after I finally placed Ultra SS under them.I now have my power conditioner on my Stillpoints rack and it's a le... | |
